Poor Archiekins.
Okay. Here are my thoughts.
- I still want Fiona Staples' art. Please bring it back
- Reggie was an ass in the older stories and is still an ass now. Glad to know some things never change...
- This was one of the funniest issue ever.
- I always love those bits in the end where they let you see which older Archie issue this one was loosely based on.
- We see the classic Ronnie move where she overreacts when something happens. Haha.

This issue was an interesting one in that there were 2 different cases of classic exaggerated slapstick comics violence doing real damage - Archie concussed by Betty's softball and the silly home destruction from issue #1 actually having consequences for Archie developing!
I liked the 2 new nonwhite characters, despite their slightly hamfisted introductions - Sayid's character design is cute and he seems like a good match for Betty, and Toni Topaz seems like a capable side character! It seems like they're starting to bring in more side characters now that the core 4 are established - Reggie, Mr Lodge, and Mr Andrews all got more development this issue as well.
I'm loving the Ronnie development over the past couple of issues, too - she's gone from interesting antagonist to funny-mean and sympathetic, yet clearly capable of doing damage where she wants to!
I still miss Fiona, but Veronica Fish's male characters no longer all blend together and I really liked the art from the softball pages, especially the panels with Betty and Sayid's meet-cute.

Reggie Mantle is evil
Get to see just how devious Reggie really is. He does not really even want the girl. These are some fun romps with the gang before they became true friends.

Reggie gets even, Veronica shows her true colours and Archie ends up in the hospital. Typical.

– "Andrews, how many fingers am I holding up?"
– "Green."

So Very Over Varchie, But Otherwise Enjoyed This One
"Why look for a way to screw Andrews when an opportunity gets handed to me? Gazelle, meet Lion."
I wish that quote from Reggie meant exactly what it sounds like when applied to the real context. Alas, however, he's not psyching himself up to ask out everyone's favourite numbskull; he's gearing up to prey on Veronica as revenge against Archie. Eew. (Though honestly, the Queen and King of Selfish Manipulation deserve each other. Archie deserves so much better than being treated like a worthless servant and occasional lap dog.)
That said, I actually quite enjoyed this issue. We get to meet Toni - who I already knew and loved from Riverdale - and Sayid, who is absolutely precious and a seemingly great addition to Betty's life.

Reggie is a star player in this one. He's no longer the richest fish in the Riverdale pond, and he's set his eye on Veronica. It takes a while for him to get it right, but when he does, the cats out of the bag and Mr. Lodge is furious. He knows what Archie did.
Dun dun dun.
Dun dun dun.

5 Stars! ★★★★★
My world was shaken to the ground; Veronica confesses she loves Archie.
And while Archie is in the hospital, recovering from his head injury, Reggie has other plans to bury Archie. Wow, he knows no limits.

Any more copies??
Archie I'm always going to love. This will never stop. Not entirely sure what else there is to say? These remind me of the times where I would collect the Archie Comics. Maybe I'll start again...

No ha sido el mejor pero sigue estando bien. Un número introductorio hacia una nueva trama.

Unos comics pensados para entretener y ayudar a lector a desconectar, para pasar un buen rato disfrutando de las aventuras de un grupo de adolescentes como todos nosotros hemos sido. Sin duda estoy deseando continuar su lectura para saber que más les espera a estos jóvenes de Riverdale.

After Betty hits a homerun at her softball game, the ball nails Archie in the head, and he's in the hospital with a concussion! Reggie uses this as an opportunity to try to get closer to Veronica and her father Mr. Lodge. While weaseling his way around the mansion, Reggie discovers some information that will undoubtedly strain Archie and Veronica's new romance.

You'd think a series that goes through so much character drama and romance would get repetitive, but no. Mark Waid has crafted an engaging series I can't wait to read the next issue of, and the ending is especially full of revelatory moments which I cannot wait to see unfold.

No puedo no amar esta serie. Es demasiado divertida. Espero con ansias el próximo número.

March 7, 2016This series just keeps getting better. I never thought an Archie book series would be as good as this one is. Holy crap.
April 20, 2016
It's not very filled with plot, as it cuts a lot of corners, but it's nostalgic and new all at once, so it works.

Poor Archie getting hit in the head by Betty's home run softball.
